Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]
, 2010 In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Estimation of the eddy diffusivity coefficient in a warm monomictic tropical Lake
Journal of Limnology, 2016 We used a two-year dataset (1998-1999) of monthly temperature profiles from Lake Alchichica, Mexico to estimate values of the vertical coefficient of eddy diffusivity.

Calculating the sediment budget of a tropical lake in the Blue Nile basin: Lake Tana
, 2016 . Soil erosion decreases soil fertility of the uplands and causes siltation of lakes and reservoirs. However, very little data exists to quantify accurately the impact of sediment on lakes in tropical monsoonal areas in the African highlands.

Lake Kivu: Limnology and biogeochemistry of a tropical great lake
, 2012 In the heart of Africa, a unique lake has attracted the attention of scientists since the beginning of the 20th century. At the foot of the Virunga volcano chain, Lake Kivu harbors a vast amount of dissolved carbon dioxide and methane, making it the most dangerous lake on Earth.

Drivers for ecosystem respiration during the drawdown period in Dongting Lake, China
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Global lakes play an active role in releasing carbon into the atmosphere. However, previous research was less focused on shallow tropical and sub-tropical lakes, especially ecosystem respiration during the drawdown period.

Lyophilisation of influenza, rabies and Marburg lentiviral pseudotype viruses for the development and distribution of a neutralisation-assay based diagnostic kit [PDF]
, 2014 Pseudotype viruses (PVs) are chimeric, replication-deficient virions that mimic wild-type virus entry mechanisms and can be safely employed in neutralisation assays, bypassing the need for high biosafety requirements and performing comparably to ...

Late Pliocene lakes and soils: a data-model comparison for the analysis of climate feedbacks in a warmer world [PDF]
, 2013 Based on a synthesis of geological data we have reconstructed the global distribution of Late Pliocene soils and lakes which are then used as boundary conditions in a series of model experiments using the Hadley Centre General Circulation Model (HadCM3 ...
